Casa Marcelo

Santiago de Compostela


Take an adventure into Galician-Japanese fusion at Michelin-starred Marcelo, where the thing is to order several small-to-medium-sized sharing dishes – the likes of tuna temaki, roast duck with shimeji mushrooms, steak tartare or fennel-and-cockles soup. Everything tastes (and looks) great but you'll need to spend a bit to satisfy a hungry appetite. Reservations advised.

There's one long red table, shared by different diners, plus stools at ledges and at the bar looking into the open kitchen.
